    In the 80's, I used to pass her maybe once per week while we were both running in a park along Santa Monica Blvd in LA. To my surprise, from about the second time on, she said good morning to me each time she saw me there. Nothing more. Just a very pleasant person.

    I met Joan many years ago at a book signing. She was around 70 then. I brought along a movie still from “Land of the Pharaohs,” one of her earliest roles in which she starred in 1955 as the evil Princess Nellifer. I asked if she’d be kind enough to sign my photo & much to my delight she had me come stand next to her while she told me about making the film. She said “I looked pretty good then didn’t I? I was 19 & had trouble keeping my plastic gemstone in my navel!” She then proceeded to reinact her final scene from the film & thanked me for being a fan. She was fun, friendly & gracious. And although she had a lot of makeup on it was easy to see she had not had any work done. She looked real & YES, still very sexy! I was in my 30’s at the time & remember thinking what an effect she must’ve had on men in the fifties considering how incredible she looked even then. Joan is the real deal & she’s certainly made the most of a life well lived.

    As a 'Dynasty' fan, imagine my excitement of seeing Joan at a furniture showroom where I worked?! I came out of an office and there she was... beautifully dressed, and wearing a small turban over her hair!! 😃
    OMG, ALEXIS CARRINGTON COLBY etc.... in the flesh!
    Was absolutely star struck, all I could do was make eye contact, and smile. 🤓😁

    I met her at a Dynasty autograph event in 2016. Had my picture taken with her. It's framed in my kitchen to this day.

    So classy & elegant.
    Would love to see how much more beautiful & younger she would look if she stopped the black eye pencil on her lower part of her eyes.
    Her blush as a creme peachy pink would also make her look so much softer and younger.
